collection

i collect people.

whitney was up a couple weekends ago, and i was reminded of our shared amusement at people who "collect" things. once i had a stamp collection when i was oh, 9 i think... and then there was the time when i "collected" barbies. but really i was trying to justify the number i owned. other than that, i've never really set out to collect all of any sort of collector's edition anything - ever.

personally, i've always felt like "collectibles" were "dust collectors" and that was it. very rarely is there any true personal attachment to these things people buy and keep on the shelves and mantles like trophies.

but i do collect people. they are all unique, they love me back, i don't have to keep them on shelves and best of all - i don't have to dust them!
